Step-by-Step Analysis
We’re asked to determine how many equivalents of Grignard reagent are required for three different carbonyl compounds. Below is a breakdown of each subquestion and reasoning for the given numbers.
1) Ester: How many equivalents of the Grignard reagent will an ester react with? ____
- Esters react with Grignard reagents through a two-step sequence. First, one equivalent of RMgX adds to the carbonyl carbon, forming a tetrahedral intermediate and collapsing to give a ketone with the leaving group (alkoxide) expelled. However, keton......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
